The coronavirus pandemic has shuttered many businesses in Milwaukee and Wisconsin, and sent the nation's unemployment rate to its highest point ever, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

But even with the overwhelmingly dismal and depressing numbers, for those who have lost their jobs or are seeking new employment, there is hope. There are still jobs to be had in the Milwaukee metro area and Wisconsin.
